I didn’t go into tech for the money, but after several years of grinding I’m definitely at the point where I’m only still in it for the money. I don’t even want to think about computers outside of work anymore.

Maybe I’m misremembering, but didn’t pip have it’s own security concerns earlier this year?

I’m the US, the EPA was created in the 1970’s. We definitely have less pollution (of certain types) today than we did in the past. Some notable examples of how disgustingly polluted American skies and waterways were in the past:

The skies of Pittsburgh, PA

the Cuyahoga River fire

Coal Production has also been declining

And then of course less visible examples like the Montreal Protocol stopping corporations from depleting the ozone layer.

My point is in terms of greenhouse gas production we are much higher than in the 60’s and 70’s, but we have massively improved in a lot of areas. Of course there is still room to improve.

I get that this is a bit, but even in D&D charisma and attractiveness are different. Unless the elder brain is supposed to be sexy, then I need to rethink some things.

A lot of trains allow riders to bring their bikes onboard, no need to give it up.

I know how pitiful our rail networks are. I take Amtrak regularly. It’s faster to drive. It shouldn’t be, but it is. Obviously I’m not talking about today, but building improved rail infrastructure over the next decade is very realistic and a worthwhile investment. Unfortunately the investment Amtrak has gotten isn’t enough to modernize our rail network, and a lot of that money is being used to improve privately owned rail lines that Amtrak leases for their passenger service.

My point was that the US doesn’t have distances that are insurmountable that can only be traveled via plane. It’s an investment issue.

A lot of those flights could be replaced with high speed rail. Maybe not New York to LA, but a lot of people live in the cities in the northeast and travel between those cities would be very feasible at reasonable travel times with high speed rail.

My point is looking at stack overflow to see what libraries are available is not copyright violation.

The number of code snippets that can be copied and pasted and fit your use-case exactly is almost 0. The number of those code snippets that are well written and would survive code review is even smaller. Stack overflow is good for getting an idea of what libraries exist. Good programmers use it for inspiration and move on to official docs from there (assuming they exist).

I work in software and I haven’t touched windows in a very long time. Even back whenever I worked on FPGA development all of that software ram on Linux, so I think you’ll find that this is very field dependent.

How else am I supposed to haul all of my groceries for a week? \s

You may already know this, but this depends on the focal length of the lens. For example, a 50mm focal length on a 35mm camera will represent objects in the background fairly accurately. Larger focal lengths have background compression, making their background look closer than it actually is. Focal lengths below 50mm will have the opposite effect, making backgrounds appear further away.

Some phones with multiple cameras have a 50mm (or similar) effective focal length lens as one of the options. Basically without knowing the focal length of the lens it’s hard to say how accurately the distance of the background is portrayed.

Patagonia also sells second hand clothes for those who are looking for that brand specifically.

Are you launching steam with STEAM_RUNTIME=1?

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense within the context of the steam deck, I don’t actually have one I just stumbled upon this post from all.

China isn’t Maoist. I’d be a lot cooler if it were though.

If you live in a city where it is possible to live without a car, a smaller percentage of the population drives, thus you don’t have to be around as many drivers per capita, so the chances of encountering someone like this are lower.

Probably because they don’t have to spend as much time around idiots who decide to do this sort of thing.

Dude obviously has an axe to grind about vegans and then they’re going to come here and gaslight us about how they’re oh so sorry, but actually it’s you who is the problem. What a joke.

Because the overwhelming majority of vegans aren’t eating nothing but fruit? Come on dude you can’t actually be this dense.
